The Theater: New Play In Manhattan, Dec. 10, 1951

I Am a Camera (by John van Druten) is an interesting stage piece though
an unsatisfactory play. A pastiche of Christopher Isherwood's tales of
Berlin in 1930a decadent city already loud with Naziismthe play
uses young Chris himself as a camera eye. But what counts most are the
very candid camera shots of an English girl named Sally Bowlesa bad
little good girl, strenuously bohemian, ostentatiously wanton, spotted
with living without really having been touched by life. Julie (Member
of the Wedding) Harris plays Sally brilliantly, with amazing verve, and
with a naughty-child air saves her from seeming nastily tarnished.
